1:16Now PlayingA Qatari LNG tanker and a Saudi-flagged crude oil tanker were damaged near the Strait of Hormuz after reported missile strikes overnight, according to sources. The LNG tanker, Al Rekayyat, issued distress calls after being hit, with one source saying a fire in its engine room raised fears of an explosion before the crew was evacuated safely. Qatar blamed Iran for the attack, while the United States responded with a new wave of strikes on Iranian military targets and revoked Iran's license to sell oil, escalating tensions in the region.
